(Minghui.org) Cultivation practice can prove to be difficult, as practitioners try to let go of the “self” and work as one-body when they validate the Fa. This requires practitioners to relinquish their selfish thoughts, improve themselves and cooperate well with each other.

However, when there are old force elements that try to interfere, we must have the wisdom to recognize them and the courage to stop them.

External interference is relatively easy to recognize, while factors that come from within the group of practitioners may be more difficult to identify.

Some practitioners validate themselves instead of the Fa. Instead of judging practitioners by their efficiency, productivity, or capabilities, we should consider things based on the Fa.

It is important that we do not accept or favor things just because they fit with our notions, just as we shouldn't oppose ideas from others because they are different from our beliefs and understandings.

We need to let go of ourselves to achieve selflessness, while living up to the standards of the Fa without human notions.
